The table lists the positions of teams after each week of matches. In order to preserve chronological progress, any postponed matches are not included in the round at which they were originally scheduled, but added to the full round they were played immediately afterwards. For example, if a match is scheduled for matchday 13, but then postponed and played between days 16 and 17, it will be added to the standings for day 16.

League Two play-offs
The Pyramid play-off was contested between the champions of the 2018–19 Highland Football League (Cove Rangers) and the 2018–19 Lowland Football League (East Kilbride).{{cite web |url=https://www.scottishfa.co.uk/news/preview-highland-v-lowland-league-play-off-2019/?rid=13929 |title=Preview: Highland v Lowland League Play-Off 2019 |publisher=Scottish Football Association |date=26 April 2019 |access-date=26 April 2019}} Cove were victorious 5–1 on aggregate and faced the bottom club (Berwick Rangers) in the League Two play-off final, being promoted to League Two for the 2019–20 season after a 7–0 aggregate win. As Berwick Rangers lost the play-off, they were relegated to the Lowland League since they were England-based club (they were based in Berwick-upon-Tweed), and England were south of 56.4513N latitude (middle of the Tay Road Bridge).
